Abstract

The effect of the position of the X-ray unresolved Kα1 - Kα2 line doublets, diffracted from powder specimens, on the precision of the calculated lattice constant has been determined using a least-squares analysis. An analytical procedure to synthesize CuKα doublet X-ray diffraction peaks with X-ray characteristic lines (half widths ranging from 0.1° to 0.4° 26) has been applied in correcting the weighted wavelength of the doublet peak position. A series of correction curves was established from which the true 26 peak position of the weighted Kα wavelength could be determined from the measured 29 peak position.
